Theocracy is typically ruled by a small group or one individual who holds religious authority, often believing they are guided by divine principles. In such systems, religious leaders or institutions have significant power over political decisions, making it distinct from systems governed by a larger, more democratic electorate. While there can be variations, the central characteristic of theocracy is the intertwining of religious and political power, usually concentrated rather than widely distributed.
